Toggler ALLIGATOR AF6 Flanged 6mm Wall Anchor

The Toggler ALLIGATOR AF6 is a flanged wall anchor designed for use in suitable solid materials and compatible hollow-wall constructions. Its polypropylene body expands and conforms inside the hole as the screw is installed, while the flange helps prevent the anchor from passing through the wall surface.

The AF6 requires an installation hole of approximately 6mm. It is approximately 30mm long with an approximately 13mm flange diameter.

Key benefits

• Flanged design: helps retain the anchor at the wall surface and distinguishes AF6 from the unflanged A6.
• Versatile fixing: designed for suitable solid materials and compatible hollow-wall constructions.
• Polypropylene construction: the anchor body does not corrode.
• Anti-rotation features: help resist spinning while the screw is driven.
• Broad screw compatibility: accepts the manufacturer’s specified range of compatible screws.
• Reusable fixing point: a suitable screw can normally be removed and reinserted if the anchor and substrate remain sound.

Typical applications

• Concrete, brick, stone and masonry
• Hollow brick and compatible blockwork
• Suitable plasterboard and tiled plasterboard installations
• Wall-mounted accessories, brackets and fittings
• General maintenance and installation work

Always match the anchor and screw to the substrate and intended load. Safe loading depends on the wall material, wall thickness, hole quality, screw size, embedment depth, fixing spacing and fixture.

Technical specifications

Installation guidance

1. Confirm that the wall material and thickness are suitable.
2. Check for concealed pipes and electrical cables.
3. Use a suitable drill bit of approximately 6mm for the wall material.
4. Drill a straight hole to a minimum depth of approximately 45mm.
5. Remove loose dust from the hole.
6. Insert the AF6 until its flange sits against the wall surface.
7. Position the fixture and install a compatible fully threaded screw.
8. Tighten until secure without overtightening or damaging the anchor or substrate.

For hollow-wall use, check that the wall thickness and screw engagement comply with the manufacturer’s requirements. Only the threaded section of the screw should engage within the anchor.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between AF6 and A6?

The AF6 has a flange that helps retain the anchor at the wall surface. The A6 is the unflanged version intended for suitable push-through installation.

What size drill bit is required?

Use a drill bit of approximately 6mm that is suitable for the wall material.

Can the AF6 be used in solid walls?

Yes. It is designed for suitable solid materials including concrete, brick, stone and masonry, subject to correct installation.

Can it be used in hollow walls?

The flanged AF6 can be used in compatible hollow-wall constructions where the wall thickness, substrate condition, screw and intended load are suitable.

What screw size should be used?

The manufacturer specifies a #6–#12 screw range. Use a fully threaded screw appropriate for the substrate, fixture and required embedment.

Is a screw included?

The current product record does not confirm that a screw is included. Check the packaging for the exact pack contents; if no screw is supplied, a compatible screw is required separately.

How much weight can the AF6 support?

The safe working load depends on the substrate, screw, embedment, installation quality, fixing spacing and fixture. Consult verified technical data for the exact installation.

What is the Hart Wholesale stock code?
